Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wobble plate type compressor with a variable displacement mechanism and more particularly, to a position of a control mechanism for a variable displacement mechanism.
  • a wobble plate type compressor which reciprocates pistons by converting the rotational movement of a cam rotor into nutational movement of a wobble plate is well known in the prior art as shown in disclosed Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 58-158 382. Changing the inclined angle of the wobble plate changes the stroke of the pistons and therefore changes the displadement volume of the cylinders.
  • Wobble palte type compressor 1 includes front end plate 2, cylinder casing 3 having cylinder block 31, valve plate 4, and cylinder head 5. Front end plate 2 is fixed on one end of cylinder casing 3 by securing bolts (not shown). Axial hole 21, which is formed through the center of front end plate 2 receives drive shaft 7. Radial bearing 8 is disposed in axial hole 21 to rotatably support drive shaft 7. Annular sleeve portion 22 projects from front end plate 2 and surrounds drive shaft 7, defining a seal cavity. Cylinder casing 3 is provided with cylinder block 31 and crank chamber 32. Cylinder block 31 has a plurality of equiangularly spaced cylinders 33 formed therein.
  • Cam rotor 9 is fixed on drive shaft 7 by pin 103.
  • Thrust needle bearing 10 is disposed between the inner wall surface of front end plate 2 and the adjacent axial end surface of cam rotor 9.
  • First arm portion 91 of cam rotor 9 extends in the direction of cylinder block 31.
  • Elongated hole 92 is formed through third arm portion.
  • Inclined plate 11, which is provided with flange portion 111, fourth arm portion 112 and cylindrical portion 113, is disposed around drive shaft 7.
  • Fourth arm portion 112 is formed on the outer surface of flange portion 111 of inclined plate 11 and faces third arm portion 91 of cam rotor 9.
  • a hole (not shown) which is formed in fourth arm portion 112, is aligned with elongated hole 92.
  • Suction ports 41 and discharge ports 42 are formed through valve plate 4.
  • a suction reed valve (not shown) is disposed on valve plate 4.
  • a discharge reed valve (not shown) is disposed on valve plate 4 opposite the suction reed valve.
  • Cylinder head 5 is connected to cylinder casing 3 through gaskets (not shown) and valve plate 4.
  • Partition wall 51 extends axially from the inner surface of cylinder head 5 and divides the interior of cylinder head 5 into suction chamber 52 and discharge chamber 53.
  • Suction chamber 52 is connected to the external fluid circuit through fluid inlet port 54 formed in cylinder head 5.
  • Discharge chamber 53 is connected to the external fluid circuit through fluid outlet port 55 formed in cylinder head 5.
  • Crank chamber 32 of cylinder casing 3 and suction chamber 52 of cylinder head 5 are communicated one another through bypass hole 311 to control the pressure in crank chamber 32 thereby controlling the angle of inclined plate 11 and wobble plate 13.
  • Bypass hole 311, which is formed with cylinder block 31, includes conduit 311 a and hollow portion 311 b and communicates crank chamber 32 of cylinder casing 3 with suction chamber 52 of cylinder head 5 to introduce the fluid gas in crank chamber 32 to suction chamber 52 responsive to operation of control valve 20.
  • Control valve 20 includes bellows 20a and needle valve 20b. One end of bellows 20a, which is vacuumed, is mounted on a projection which is formed on the inner wall surface of hollow portion 311 b and needle valve 20b is fixed on the other end thereof.
  • hollow portion 311 in cylinder block 31 to dispose control valve 20. Furthermore, since hollow portion 311 b is formed outside of the circumference of a plurality of cylinders 33, the outer surface of cylinder casing 3 projects in the radial direction as shown in Fig. 2. Alternatively, if hollow portion 311 b is formed on the circumference of cylinders 33 to prevent cylinder casing 3 from projectiong, respective cylinder 33 can not be disposed with a regular interval thereby causing to produce pulsation of the gas pressure. Furthermore, if control valve 20 is disposed within a cylinder head, the volume of a suction chamber and a discharge chamber is reduced thereby also increasing pulsation of the gas pressure.
  • a wobble plate type compressor with a variable displacement mechanism achieves the above stated objects and includes a compressor housing which is provided with a crank chamber and a cylinder block in which a plurality of cylinders are formed.
  • a front end plate is fixed on one end surface of the compressor housing.
  • a cylinder head which is provided with a suction chamber and a discharge chamber is fixed on the other end surface thereof.
  • a drive shaft is rotatably supported in the housing and one end of the drive shaft is rotatably supported in a central bore in the cylinder block.
  • a rotor is fixed on the drive shaft and is variably connected to an inclined plate through a hinge mechanism.
  • a wobble plate is adjacent the inclined plate and converts rotary motion of the inclined plate into nutating motion thereof.
  • a plurality of pistons are coupled with the wobble plate through a plurality of connecting rods each of which is reciprocably fitted within a respective one of the cylinders and of which the stroke volume is changed in accordance with variation of the angle of the inclined plate.
  • a control valve controls the communication between the crank chamber and the suction chamber through a conduit.
  • the control valve is disposed in the central bore of the cylinder block adjacent to the drive shaft, said control valve terminating at said valve plate.
  • Figs. 4 and 5 the construction of a wobble plate type compressor with a variable displacement mechanism is shown.
  • the same numerals are accorded on the same construction as that shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
  • the description of that construction is omitted to symplify the specification of this invention.
  • Cylinder bore 35 is formed in cylinder block 31 to be defined to first cylinder chamber 351 and second cylinder chamber 352. Those chambers 351 and 352 are communicated through hole 353 each other.
  • One end of drive shaft 7 is rotatably supported with radial bearing 8 which is disposed in axial hole 21 and the other end thereof is also rotatably supported with radial bearing 17 which is disposed in first cylinder chamber 351.
  • Control valve mechanism 60 is fixedly disposed in second cylinder chamber 352 of cylinder bore 35.
  • Control valve mechanism 60 includes cylinder casing 61, bellows 62 and needle valve 63. Hole 61 a is formed through the axial end of cylinder casing 3.
  • Partition wall 61 b radially extends from the inner surface of cylinder casing 61 and defines the interior of cylinder casing 61 into first casing chamber 610 and second casing chamber 611.
  • Hole 61 c is formed through partition wall 61b to communicate first casing chamber 610 with second casing chamber 611.
  • Hole 61d is formed through the cylindrical wall surfaces of cylinder casing 3 to communicate second casing chamber 611 with the exterior of cylinder casing 3.
  • the exterior of cylinder casing 3, which is second cylinder chamber 352 is communicated with suction chamber 52 through conduit 311 and hole 43.
  • Bellows 62 is fixed on a projection, which is formed on one inner wall surface of first casing chamber 610, at one end thereof. Needle valve 63 is fixed on the other end of bellows 62 at the position corresponding to hole 61 c.
  • Refrigerant gas flows into cylinder bore 35 through gaps among a plurality of balls of radial bearing 17 as shown by a dotted line. If the pressures of the gas, which flows into first casing chamber 610 through hold 61 a, is higher than an operating point of bellows 62, bellows 62 contracts, thereby moving needle valve 63 toward left. Accordingly, the opening of hole 61c is opened, and the gas flows into second casing chamber 611 through hole 61c. The gas in second casing chamber 611 flows out to the exterior of cylinder casing 61 and flows into suction chamber 52 through conduit 311 and hole 43. Therefore, since the pressure of the gas in crank chamber 32 is reduced thereby the angle of inclined plate 11 is increased.
  • cylinder casing 61 is defined by partition wall 61 g to first casing chamber 610 and second casing chamber 611.
  • Bellows 62 is fixed on a projection, which is formed on the inner wall surface of first casing chamber 610 at the side of discharge chamber 53, at one end thereof.
  • Needle valve 63 is fixed on the other end surface of bellows 62 and controls the opening and closing of hole 61 e of first casing chamber 610.
  • Hole 61f is formed through the cylindrical surface of cylinder casing 3 to communicate first casing chamber 610 with the exterior of cylinder casing 3, which is second cylinder chamber 352.
  • first casing chamber 610 The interior of first casing chamber 610 is communicated with suction chamber 52 through conduit 311 and hole 43. If the pressure of the gas in suction chamber 52 is higher than the operating point of bellows 62, bellows 62 contracts thereby moving needle valve 63 toward right. Accordingly, the opening of hole 61 is opened, and the gas in crank chamber 32 flows into suction chamber 52. Contrarily, if the pressure of the gas in suction chamber 52 is below the operating point of bellows 62, the opening of hole 61 e is closed by needle valve 63. Thereby the gas in crank chamber 32 is prevented from flowing into first casing chamber 610.
  • bellows 62 The interior of bellows 62 is vaccumed so that the operation of bellows 62 is not influenced by the temperature of the gas.
